12/07/07 D&D Game Session

Journal entries covering the December 7, 2007 session. We assaulted a camp of 300 goblins and associated monsters. A totally fun game session.

11/17/07 D&D Game Session

I have finally posted the recap for the November 17, 2007 session.

I don’t know why I didn’t post this earlier. It has been done for more than a month.

Realism in D&D – Skills, NPC Class Levels & Encumbrance

My DM at one of the current campaigns I am in posted the following links to his yahoo group:

D&D: Calibrating Your Expectations

Encumbrance

Don’t know if I agree with everything presented, but a very thought provoking post, a least for D&D players.

As a DM, one of the things I found the most difficult was making time and consumables meaningful. Earlier editions, with their 10 minute turns, made time pass much more quickly. This would cause torches to burn out, supplies to be eaten, etc.

3rd edition uses 6 second turns – characters can explore in a couple of hours what would have taken a day or two in previous editions. While more realistic, I just found it harder to track time. Lots of guestimating on if a spell had ended, etc. and supplies never seemed to run out in a dungeon.

Other than a certain frustration level, a very fun session.

07/20/07 D&D Game Session

The July 6, 2007 was cancelled due to the illness of the Dungeon Master.

Here is the 07/20/07 Game Recap.

Woodelf’s 3.5 SRD

I did a version of the SRD formatted for printing, but it is not nearly as well done as the version by woodelf found at the Impossible Dream. This version is incredibly well formatted with nice sidebars and flavor text. It is divided into 5 files which come out to slightly over 800 pages.

The only downside is that my favorite PDF Reader, Foxit Reader, doesn’t render it right. It does render just fine in the free Acrobat Reader, though.

June 26, 2009 Update: Foxit Reader does render it correctly now.
